A MESSAGE FROM THE

CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD

OF TRUSTEES

Greetings,

On behalf of our Board of Trustees,
Marillac Saint Vincent’s (MSV) participants,
staff, volunteers and honorees, we are delighted
to have you join us for this year’s Lumière Gala.

Tonight, we celebrate the unwavering support
of KPMG with the Luminary Award, recognizing
their commitment to partnership and dedication
to community. We are honored to present the Sr.
Katie Norris Visionary Award to the MSV Alumni
Group. This award celebrates their embodiment
of MSV’s roots of compassion and service,
reflected in the exceptional leadership and
personal dedication each member brings
to our community.

Tonight we celebrate Marillac Saint Vincent’s more than 100 year history of service to
Chicago families. And we look forward to a bold vision of our future, guided by our
strategic plan. We thank each of you for the generosity you have shown through the years.
Your support and belief in our mission enables us to provide vital services to our community
and look to the future with excitement and gratitude. We are deeply grateful to our Lumière
Gala sponsors for their generous support.

Heartfelt thanks as well to our host committee, dedicated staff, and volunteers whose
hard work and creativity made this event possible. We express a special welcome to the
Daughters of Charity who are joining us tonight. Thanks to them, MSV has a rich heritage
of service guided by Vincentian values and filled with love, compassion and encouragement.
We hope you enjoy the evening.
Suzanne Chapa
Chairperson, Board of Trustees
